Tastes

One of my favorite sipping scotches, especially for the price. Very peat heavy and iodine/ sea salt briny on the front end, but surprisingly smooth on the back end and melts in your mouth. Tastes a lot like it comes from the North Atlantic Ocean. Reminds me of the movie “The Lighthouse.” Much smoother than I think it typically gets credit for given how strong the initial taste is. Highly recommend.

Not my favorite islay single malt, but not bad. Milder flavor with less peat than laphroaig or ardberg with some vanilla in the aftertaste.

I don’t know if it’s the barrel I got, but I’m not a big fan of sipping this one. Not a lot of complex flavors. Good nose though. I ended up just making cocktails out of it, and it’s good for that.

Fanstastic blend. A little bit of peat from the caol islay. A little apple. Very smooth. I enjoy sipping.
